Why choose an open hull
Until then, apart from the canoes, the vast majority of motorized units had either a cabin or a fully decked bow. The discovery of a completely open unit which favored above all space and simplicity in terms of comfort of the layouts was initially a surprise for boaters then this new concept was quickly emulated and since then, most builders offer in their catalog open hulls called open. Also, apart from the fact that this type of boat must have a planing and stable hull in drift, here are some arguments which make that, within the framework of open style design, panga ferret offers you this model below that you can customize .
The anchor locker
It must be deep enough to receive a mooring line worthy of the name. A drain at the bottom of the locker is required to prevent the chain from rusting. A clinch point or cleat is essential to attach the mooring to the boat.
The pilot seat
If the rotating bucket seats, for the pilot and the co-pilot, can be oriented with their back to the march for trolling, a leaning-post type buttocks rest also shows its effectiveness over long distances.
storage capacity
Trunks judiciously distributed on board and offering a good amount of storage allow you to store passengers belongings and safety equipment.

The steering console
Generally placed in the center of the boat, the console can, in some cases, be offset to starboard to leave a wide gangway to port. To effectively protect the pilot from wind and spray, it must be surmounted by an enveloping windscreen. The presence of a handrail around the windshield is a guarantee of safety. Sometimes it can be covered by a protective T-top against the sun rays. In any case, it must be able to accommodate all the engine instrumentation and the steering compass and have enough space for a depth sounder and GPS. The presence of a storage compartment and storage compartments is a little extra. On board some units, the console can hide a shelter and receive chemical toilets.
